Ready to Burst!

Only a few more days to go and  Ruby is getting quite big.  We are excited for this batch of pups to get here.  In getting ready for the pups I have taken on the project of making a new whelping box.  I made it 3 feet x 5 feet and 32 inches tall.  One side is detachable and the roof is detachable also to help with access to the pups.  I used  a 2x6 and 2x4 to make a pig rail around the box.  The box is recessed into the shed and I made the door so it can be accessed from outside.  This is where the pups will be born and live for the first few weeks of there lives. It was fun putting it together with the kids, and it will work great for the new arrivals.   I still need to paint the front but will post pictures soon.
